I'm working on legislation to better support domestic violence survivors so they can seek help—so today at Mary's Place, I heard directly from providers & survivors about the challenges they face and what we can do to help survivors get the support & justice they need to heal.
I was Morgan Family YMCA to hear about the great work they do & plans for a new facility on Pearl Street I'm working to get federal funding for that will be a game-changer for the community—expanding the Y’s ability to offer healthy activities, affordable programs & classes, & more.
Had a great time learning more about Tacoma Schools' Maritime 253 Skills Center—a hub for maritime education, maritime jobs, & the maritime sector. This innovative program will help meet workforce needs in the region—& I'll keep working to secure federal dollars to support it.
.United Indians of All Tribes Foundation does incredible work to support Seattle's urban native community. Today, I met with folks to hear about how federal grants will support their childhood health and workforce development program, learn about the redevelopment plan, and more.
